Still DIY, only you really would rather not have the handyman come help.

I mean, unless you do. I ain’t judging.

He thought it was water and so drank the entire thing. This consumption killed him.

I want justice you stupid fuck. Bury these fucks while you redistribute their wealth.

Johnny was a chemist

Johnny is no more

What Johnny thought was H2O

Was H2SO4

So its the “law enforcement” equivalent ofa petulant child spreading the peas around on the plate to make it look like they ate more than they did, except the peas are human beings and instead of a petulant child its… Well, a petulant child with frightening power over others.

Worst timeline.

There is, unfortunately, no way to know how one would react in a situation until one is put in that situation.

I can imagine, based on what I know of myself, that I’d have gone one of two ways. Either I would have become infinitely more withdrawn and sullen to the point of taking my own life because of the overall repressive situation you very briefly describe, or I would have become an angry, hypersexualized version of myself who would probably have ended up in a similarly early grave through some other, external means rather than deliberately self-inflicted.

Words on a screen, but I am still sorry this happened to you. Nobody asks for this, nobody deserves this, and there are absolutely people in this world who are happier and better off for your presence and who you are, entirely independent of those horrible moments in your life.

Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you greater joys in your life than all the pain you’ve yet known combined.

I just look forward to the day we can all add “deceased” to the end of the name.

Oh, so after the last time they rigged it all and sipped champagne while people protested their retirement plans going up in smoke, they made sure the next time they did it they could take every last penny, too.

Disgusting.

Can you short an IPO? Like, this can’t go well at that valuation with all the writing on the wall.

To be clear, I’m asking this question because I know just enough about this level of finances to know I don’t know a fucking thing, but I also do see that reports show them burning cash like its actually incredibly toxic and must be disposed of with extreme prejudice.

So like, can you bet on the IPO failing and make some cash from it that way?

No, if we did actually have him then we wouldn’t be in the state we are today.

What with his passion for punching Nazis in the face and all, I mean.

Van Gogh? Monet? Rembrandt?Most assuredly.

That piece you purchased directly from the artist at the gallery last month? That still has value even if it isn’t in a museum.

I maintain my position.

That’s a number I pulled from somewhere around thin air and my buttcheeks, so if you’ve got data behind any real numbers I’m in more with you.

Who needs more than, let’s be excessively generous and say 500 million in total assets? That can be a really nice house, several nice cars, a boat, and a vacation home in place of your choosing. This asset valuation would then also include artwork and other such items of agreed-upon-societal-value. And if you swear you somehow need more, then youre just a miserable fuck who will never be happy without intensive therapy and even then I worry it wouldn’t be enough.

And old spin drives have a limited lifespan as well thanks to wear and tear on mechanical parts. Whichever tech you prefer has its own unique drawbacks.

RAID and backups are the only surefire way to protect any amount of your data long term.

I can’t wait for PC parts to be super cheap. I saw somewhere that, bubble-pop-notwithstanding, NVME production is projected to hit a level within a year or so that will outpace even the last year’s demand for storage and could even drive prices for storage down to below what they were prior to the bubble. Oh, and that’s even accounting for inflation. So when the bubble does pop, we are going to have an absolute storage glut.

The fact that the rest of the world is going to be miserable and impossible is another matter entirely, but at least I’ll have my hobby.

Literally any souls-like: dying within view of the tens of thousands of currency on your previous corpse to a basic enemy knowing that boss kill is now effectively meaningless beyond opening a door.

They should hire me.

I’m great at placating words and otherwise doing fuck all.

Incorrect. Anakin programmed Threepio with the desire to serve his mother and with the six languages he spoke at the time.

I would agree its more like modification than building from scratch, but he still had to get in there and noodle with everything. Programming was absolutely involved.
